Don't be disturbed. I've been in many operating rooms and most have music in the background. My wife abhors heavy metal...but the music is usually set by the surgeon. With good reason.
Surgeries can be extremely boring from an anesthesia perspective. Once the patient is under -- and that the the major point -- relatively safe cases, and even some non-safe cases (open heart) are run almost on auto pilot. The anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist is there to monitor the situation, make adjustments as required by the surgeon, intervene in emergencies, and bring the patient out at the end. I've been in many operating rooms, interestingly, because my wife has gone on quite a few medical missions and I've gone along as a handy man. There's always someone clicking at a laptop in the corner, reading a book, or something like that. This is usually a second surgeon, waiting for some part of a procedure, or the anesthesia person. opaqueice;159085 Wrote: > While I'm happy for SD, I'm deeply disturbed by the image of an > anesthesiologist rocking out to metallica, reading People, and talking > on the phone while her patient is being sliced open.

It's about the music. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30221 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
